Janiber Vieira, the mother of disgraced former Boynton Beach police officer David Britto, will be released from a Miami prison Tuesday after serving a sentence for helping her son to flee to Brazil.

Vieira, 51, on Nov. 21 was sentenced to a year and one day in prison after helping her son flee the country to avoid facing the prospect of 10 years in prison on drug charges. She was given credit for three months in custody before her sentencing.

Britto, a former Boynton Beach police officer, is still at large and thought to be living in Brazil, a country that does not extradite its own nationals to face trial in the U.S. or other countries. Britto, a U.S. citizen, was born in Brazil.

David Oscar Markus, Vieira's Miami-based lawyer, said on Monday he's happy that Vieira's prison time is drawing to a close.

When reached by phone Monday, Vieira's husband, Mariorlando Vieira, declined to to comment.
